Hey abaqus professionals,
i have a question regarding reproducibility of results. I am conducting multicrack analyses in form of an indentation test (ABAQUS 2019) and most of them abort quite early due to convergence issues. A few weeks back a simulation managed to run through. I have the input...
Hey,
i'm coming from ABAQUS and im new to ANSYS, so i still lack some fundamentals. I am currently using the ACP and static mechanical modules to simulate a tensile Test of a Basic UD layer. In ACP Post after defining the failure criterion, ANSYS shows me where Elements have failed due to which...
Hey, i am interested in applying an initial stress on a coating. I already tried using predefined field and the "initial condition, type Stress" options. I feel like these options didn't solve my problem properly, since i dont want the equilibrium to be calculated at the initial step. What i...
Hey guys, i have a question regarding crack analysis in ABAQUS.
I am using the CZM to initiate and propagate a crack in a coating. Recently i was playing around with partitions (vertical white lines) so that multiple crack can emerge sequentially. After having a closer look at the output file i...
Hey,
i am currently using a python script to generate and submit jobs. Whenever i try to open the .odb files though the error "... .odb is from a more recent release of ABAQUS" . That seems weird to me, since i am using python Version 2.7.2 and my ABAQUS Version runs with 2.7.3, so if anything...
Dear Abaqus users,
i am simulating crack propagation of a coating in conjunction with an indentor test. I was a bit surprised by the crack representation when i saw, that cracked elements would penetrate the slave body. You can see it in the picture i uploaded (the cracked elements penetrate...
Dear Abaqus specialists,
i am currently working on the FE Analysis of an indentor Test in order to examine the failure mechanisms (cracking and Delamination) of coated Tools. Unfortunately my Simulation Always Aborts giving the following error message:
Solver problem. Zero pivot when...
Hey,
i am currently simulating the rockwell test on a Diamond coated Substrate (2D). I am interested in the Delamination process, but also the crack Initiation and Propagation within the Coating. I managed to simulate a crack in the Coating using the XFEM enrivonment, but unfortunately the...
